Trump broke his all-time tweeting record amid nationwide protests

Trump broke his all-time tweeting record amid nationwide protests, sending more tweets in a single day than he did during his impeachment trial

President Donald Trump on Friday sent exactly 200 tweets and retweets — the most so far during his presidency — amid ongoing nationwide protests about police brutality and not long after he issued an executive order to regulate the social network after it fact-checked his posts.

According to Factba.se, which tracks the president's usage of Twitter, the volume of the president's tweets Friday was the highest it had ever been — both before and during his presidency. The president had sent 468 tweets as of Friday night for the week — the most ever in one week during his presidency, according to Factba.se.

He also tweeted 74 times between 8 and 9 a.m. Friday, which marked the all-time highest volume of tweets from the president in a single hour. The president, who has frequently used Twitter as a messaging tool during his presidency, has ramped up his usage of the platform this year amid his re-election, according to Factba.se.

The tweets Friday broke his previous record of 142 tweets and retweets in a single day, which he sent on January 23 during his impeachment trial in the Senate. In 2017, then-White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said that the president's tweets constituted official statements, according to CNN.
